Hi,
I have the first gen "EV Project" Blink EVSE ( circa 2011).
When I reboot the evse, the EV Project screen comes on momentarily, and then when it goes away, I hear a "click" sound from inside the unit and then ... nothing. The screen has a backlit, but there is nothing else.

What shall I do? What is wrong with it?

I am fine with opening the unit and wiggling or replacing modules from inside the unit, but I hoping someone else experienced this issue and may shed some light...

BTW, I am currently running it in dumb mode. I have disconnected both the small connectors as mentioned in the how-to thread.

It works perfectly with the Leaf's schedule timer programming mode, but I really miss the screen.

The other observation is this: With the plastic covers off, I am able to see a bit more, the LEDs surrounding the LCD display seems to flicker and respond. This clue tells me that the LCD module is fine. The "backlight" is present on screen, so the only other thing I could try is:

1. Swap out the SD card with a working one. Maybe the SD card is corrupted and can't boot(?)
or,
2. Swap out the computer board module with a replacement from a junked Blink.

Does anyone have any better suggestions??? Thanks!

Check all connections for tightness. They may get loose with use and time. There is also a screw on some kind of pot that a repairman adjusted one time. Don't remember exactly what it did. I think it was below the screen, basically in the middle.
